of pins and cotter pins. Then, retighten every 24 hours of service.

3. The tension of the transmission and gathering chains must be checked
every 50 hours.

squared tubes. Check every 50 hours.
5. Safety clutches of the row units:
6. The clutch is with the cardan shaft and has a fuse bolt that must be
replaced if broken.
7. The clutches are installed on the factory with maximum torque and must
not be re-adjusted.

9. Cleaning plates of the pulling rollers.
10. To avoid winding, the distance between the plate and the pulling roller

1 mm. Check every 100 hours.

adjustments.

only the local conditions can determine its best adjustment.
